Taxonomy. The distinction between
M. molossus
and other congeners is discussed above. Specimens from PECB identified as
M. molossus
(ZSP 003, 018, 020, 053; see
Table 8
for measurements) have general mid brown coloration. The dorsal fur varies from weakly to well bicolored, with white to grayish basis extending from 1/4 to 1/3 of fur length, and mid brown tips. The dorsal fur at the shoulders average
5 mm
. The upper incisors are pincer-like. Sagittal and lambdoidal crests are low.

Barros 2014
,
Reis et al. 2017
,
Loureiro et al. 2018
). In
São Paulo state
the species is widely distributed, occurring in all the vegetational formations (
Garbino 2016
).
Field observations. We captured 28 individuals (
4 males
and
24 females
) in roosting sites on building roofs in sampling sites S2 and S7 (Appendix 1). In S2 we also captured 13
Histiotus velatus
, two
Myotis albescens
and one
Myotis ruber
. In S7 we also captured one
C. abrasus
and
two
M.
rufus. Captures occurred in October, December and July. We captured lactating females in December and pregnant females in October and December.
